ybe some 60s coming up in the next few days. back to you. >> thank you. the cold weather is driving some produce prices higher. farm workers worked all day yesterday trying to protect crops from another night of frost. this morning, it's down into the low 30s in the fields around monterey bay of temperatures weren't low enough monday morning to kill the crop but the cold did do some cosmetic damage and will reduce the shelf life of the artichokes. >> the longer the temperature stays below freezing, the more damage the artichokes will succumb to which the inner vascular tissue will actually turn black but we haven't gotten there yet. >> but consumers are already feeling the consequences. at a salinas produce stand citrus prices have nearly doubled from last week reflecting shortages and extra costs to growers. a north bay neighborhood filling with towering redwood city lost a tree and power when it came down. experts think the tree's roots rotted out from under it.

nobody was hurt by the big falling tree. pg&e restored power to the area overnight. and to pinpoint how cold it's going to get in your neighborhood, just goto your cbssf.com/weather. we are following breaking news in the east bay. crews are battling a fire in crockett. >> we are getting word that they are fighting it defensively now so this is the structure fire in a residential neighborhood pretty close to the waterfront and the carquinez bridge. so if you are on interstate 80 you may see smoke or flames. the exact location is at jackson and loring avenue. they are doing traffic control in the area. less than a mile from the carquinez bridge. initially, they had to shut down the union pacific railroad track in that area. they were able to reopen the tracks and again this is a live look at the carquinez bridge. capitol corridor amtrak both should be on time. and we are sending a news crew to the scene so we'll bring you live pictures here very shortly. stay tuned for that. in the meantime, other traffic

news. here's a live look at highway 4 traffic sensors picking up a little bit of slowing right now in the eastbound lanes. they have a full freeway closure scheduled to wrap up in the next half hour. so by 5:30 maybe a little bit earlier than that. otherwise here is a live look at the nimitz 880 in oakland flowing nicely towards downtown. quiet golden gate bridge. they did some lane changes a little while ago so they have more southbound 101 lanes open now and mass transit including capitol corridor amtrak all on time. that is traffic. back to you guys. >> okay, liz, thanks. 5:03 now. a dead body is discovered in sonoma county. investigators found a car in a no parking zone last night on petaluma road north of east cotati avenue near sonoma state university. the trunk was unlocked. when they opened it they found a body inside wrapped in a blanket. investigators believe it is linked to a crime in santa rosa but are not providing any details. city leaders in oakland say gang activity is a big reason behind a surge of violence over

the weekend. there were 16 shootings during a span of 72 hours that ended yesterday. four of the victims died. police chief howard jordan says 90% of the recent violence is traced to two feuding gangs and the murder of one gang member's girlfriend. jordan would not identify the gangs involved. but he says police have arrested one suspect and three persons of interest in connection with the friday shooting. william bratton is in favor of stop and frisk. the former l.a. police chief says it's rest in to get illegal guns off the -- it's necessary to get illegal guns off the streets in oakland. that method is under scrutiny by civil rights activists. >> you don't get to stop random people walking down the street because they are african- american young men living in a certain neighborhood. we are against that. >> every police department in america does it. the challenge is to do it constitutionally within the

law. the challenge is to do it compassionately. you're dealing with human beings. >> if the city council approves bratton's contract as expected, he will start work in oakland february 10. a bay area city with a bad reputation is actually seeing violent crime go down. homicides in richmond have decreased by 28% in the last year after the city hired 40 new officers and the force changed the way it patrols the streets. officers now talk to members of some 40 neighborhood councils. >> every neighborhood is different and unique. they all have different needs and desires from the police department and we actually can meet all their needs when we put the same officers there. >> apparently it's working. in addition technology like shotspotter and cameras help identify crimes in progress. police have also identified 75 people in the city most likely to commit crimes and let them know they are being watched.

president obama will unveil his details to lower gun violence. >> he discussed it yesterday in his last scheduled nice conference of his first term. >> i'm confident there are some steps that we can take that don't require legislation and that are within my authority as president and where you get a step that has the opportunity to reduce the possibility of gun violence. i want to go ahead and take it. >> the president's plan is expected to include a ban on high capacity magazines and stricter background checks for gun buyers. the president is still reviewing recommendations from the gun task force led by vice president joe biden. meanwhile state lawmakers in new york are expected to pass the nation's most restricted gun laws to date. the measure has already passed the state senate and is now before the new york assembly increasing sentences for gun christ, ban internet sales of assault weapons and make it a misdemeanor for failing to safely store a weapon. governor andrew cuomo supports

the pier. it's an old pier. so we are trying to reach things from the shoreline. very difficult to get to the fire that's actually under the pier and still burning. >> are there apartments or other buildings in the neighborhood that are being threatened right now? >> there are no buildings in the immediate facility. the cnh sugar refinery is notified of the fire since drifting material that's burning could threaten their wooden piers and dock area so there's a fire watch along those lines. the coast guard is also on scene to assist with that. >> okay. so at this point you really don't have an estimated time when you can attempt to get the fire under control? >> we are waiting for the arrival of the fire boat from contra costa county fire to see whether or not they will be able to get better access to this and put out the fire

answers. >> armstrong's admission could lead to a lawsuit from the federal government. armstrong accepted sponsorship money from the u.s. postal service and now is accused of defrauding the feds out of millions of dollars. lance armstrong was stripped of his 7 tour de france titles. you will hear more of that oprah interview on "cbs this morning" beginning at 7:00. so what is your reaction to lance armstrong's somewhat coming clean? comment on facebook or twitter, or email us at mornings@cbs5.com. and the according to oprah sounds like he didn't do a total mea culpa. >> but i'm interested to hear what he had to say. i'll be watching. 5:15. elizabeth has more on the fire in crockett. >> sounds like it's burning near a pier right there along the waterfront. we just spoke to the battalion chief in crockett who said it could be burning for a while near jackson and loring avenue. so it's not causing a huge traffic problem because it is again on city streets. it's not impacting the carquinez bridge but the problem now is accessing all those flames getting the hose

toward tomorrow and i think the remainder of the week as high pressure will build in across the bay area and sets up overhead that will warm the temperatures up keeping us nice and dry too no rain this week and it's going to stay dry around the state. 50s into the central valley. 39 cold in yosemite. 41 lake tahoe. toward the afternoon a few passing high clouds outside and i think that will be the worst of it. then another cold night as we head in towards tomorrow night and into tomorrow morning. it looks like after that things are going to moderate even more. temperatures expected to be in the 50s in the south bay, east bay in the 50s, mountaintops probably in the 40s. maybe as high as 58 in santa rosa today. next couple of days, we are going to see some warmer weather on the way. have to get through the big chill this morning. mid-60s on thursday and friday staying nice and dry through the weekend, guys. >> thank you. i like it. it's the weekend. >> we like you again. >> it's about time.

breaking news at crockett in the east bay a structure on fire at jackson and loring avenues on the waterfront. we have crews on the scene. we spoke to the fire chief earlier. he says that fire is suspicious. and again, there is some access issues. chopper 5 is over the scene. so we can get a live look now at the current conditions a lot of fire crews still out there. once again there are some access issues getting to the fire. they are having to get hoses out there. they are having a hard time getting to the flames. they are having to use some fire boats to get out there. it's been burning for a while. it could be burning for a little while longer, as well. then again, they are telling us that fire is suspicious. then once they get the fire under control, then the investigation has to continue

after that. so as far as traffic goes, as you can see, this is not a heavily traveled area at this time of the morning. it is right there along the waterfront at jackson and loring. earlier they had to close down the union pacific railroad tracks. now, trains were scheduled to start running around 5:30 this morning. we are told everything is still on time for capitol corridor and amtrak. and it's never impacted traffic as well on the carquinez bridge. the fire was burning a mile or actually even a little less to interstate 80. so as far as traffic goes we are looking okay. outside towards the bay bridge toll plaza right now we were following an accident, a three- car crash that was blocking one lane on the upper deck. it is now cleared already towards treasure island. so it's a little slow up the incline but not too bad and no metering lights yet. no huge delays obviously heading into san francisco. and in the east bay here's a live look at the nimitz now. this is 880 near the oakland coliseum. 66. it is looking good from hayward up towards downtown. coming up, we'll get a check of mass transit. in the meantime we're tacking

chilly temperatures once again -- talking chilly temperatures once again. lawrence has the latest. >> good to keep moving this morning. freezing temperatures around the bay area even a little colder than it was than yesterday at this time. as the air has a little more moisture, the winds have calmed down. offshore winds are blowing bringing the cold, dry air in off the land toward the sea and that's going to keep us very cold this morning. outside right now just a couple of passing high clouds. the temperatures chilly though 29 degrees in livermore 28 in santa rosa 33 just above freezing in san jose and even 37 degrees in san francisco. so a cold start to the day. freeze warnings are up in the valleys in the north and east bay even in the south bay in towards san jose. we have some freeze warnings, as well. frost advisory inside the bay. these temperatures still bottoming out for another hour or so and then starting to moderate somewhat. by the afternoon looks like a decent day. in fact, the temperatures probably a little bit warmer by the afternoon. and then some warmer days are

ahead almost spring-like into tomorrow and thursday and the weekend looks good. i don't think any rain threats as the high pressure ridge moves overhead with the storm track staying north for a week. 39 yosemite. plenty of snow. 54 degrees in fresno, 53 sacramento. and 57 degrees into monterey bay. latest computer forecast models show mostly clear skies with occasional high clouds passing through. otherwise, it is going to stay dry today. then another cold night tomorrow morning but probably in the quit as cold as this morning. temperatures about 56 degrees in san jose for a high today. 55 in san mateo. 55 also in hayward. east bay numbers mainly up into the 50s although you see the blue over the mountaintops means the temperatures will stay in the 40s and looks like high as 57 in oakland, maybe the hotspot how about 58 degrees in santa rosa. next couple of days we are looking at lots of sunshine and some warmer weather, some 60s showing up across the board as
